Other Important Information. Almost all items on this web page are fairly rare and "exotic" hard to get hand-made merchandise or things we make ourselves one at a time, that's why you don't see them everywhere. We like to help out enthusiasts with such difficult to acquire items and are, in fact, the largest store world wide for many of these exotic products, but the supply of such hand-made items is limited and patience is necessary to get them. As an example, pickups from Lindy Fralin or a "Super Texan Amplifier" are hand made, and quite limited in production. The Fralin pickups may have a 2 to 4 week wait, where as pickups from Seymour Duncan are more "mainstream" and more readily available in larger numbers and quicker. Prices We have a regular walk-in store with showroom. All prices in this catalog, and on our web page are priced at the price one would get over the counter in our shop shipping and packing are not included in our prices to assure you the lowest possible prices on everything. Shipping costs include, not only the postage but the handling - which is packaging time, labor and packaging materials, processing your invoice, entering information in the log books, and the customer support necessary to manage shipping of such a wide range of merchandise.
